Women's Suffrage movement (1848)

The first woman's suffrage movement convention was in New York 1848. The movement was started  by Susan B anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and other pioneers. This movement wanted Congress to pass a constitutional amendment allowing women to vote. One way of trying to get heard, the NWP (National Woman's party) sat outside the White house in order to convince President Wilson and the congress to pass the woman's suffrage amendment. Finally in 1920, the 19th amendment gave women the right to vote. This is significant to our history because, this movement gave women a voice. This relates to other events because women were finally free to speak their minds.
